The loss of taste can lead to lack of appetite and sometimes to serious nutritional deficiencies. Hearing fades, particularly in the high-frequency range, and processing of information slows. Vision begins deteriorating at about 40. The pupil shrinks, reducing the amount of light reaching the retina. An 80-year- old's retina receives only about a sixth of the light that a 20-year-old's does. The lens hardens and clouds. More than half of those...

When the votes are all tallied and the goodbyes said and the clasps of work- thickened hands finished, the lingering flavor of the Iowa caucuses in the chill February night will be rich brownies and giant chunks of fudge mixed with laughter and hugs for neighbors and the silent thanks for the right to do what they have just done. The people of this down-to-earth state will have made the first significant declaration to the world about whom the American electorate has in mind to be the next President. Serious business...
